For sale: 2002 BMW Z8 - SOLD...!!!...

In 1997, BMW, (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG - Bavarian Motor Works) debuted its Z07 concept car at the Tokyo Auto Show. The Z07 was a design exercise meant to celebrate the BMW 507 of the late '50s. The concept caused a commotion and it became an instant hit. Because of this, BMW decided to make a limited production run of roadsters from 2000 through 2003. They called it the Z8.

The one on our showroom floor is black with beautiful tan leather, and only 11,671 miles. The removable hard top takes this roadster to the next level of open air motoring. Throwing the shifter through the six speeds while the wind is in your hair, taking tight corners with ease, and generally driving until you giggle is what defines the Z8. It's a car you can drive everyday; to work, to school, to get groceries ...in another state. It is fun, personified.

An all-aluminum chassis and body house a 32-valve V8 that's putting out 400 horsepower and 363 ft. lbs. of torque. Tucked behind the front axle, the engine's placement provide the car with 50/50 weight distribution, making it sublimely balanced. Zero to 60 in 4.2 seconds isn't too shabby either.

I won't say that this car is on its way out the door and that you should rush down here and grab it before someone else does. But I honestly can't see this beauty sitting on the showroom floor for a long time. Let us know if you have any questions.
